SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- GoDaddy Inc.
(NYSE: GDDY), the world's largest technology provider dedicated to
small businesses, today announced the availability of two new
features, Email Archiving and Email Encryption, for Office 365
users. The new features, available as add-on services for all
GoDaddy Office 365 customers, will make it easier for small
business owners to transmit, store and protect valuable data about
their business and customers, and simpler for those operating in
regulated industries to remain compliant.
"In what is an increasingly connected world, it's never been
more important for small businesses to keep valuable data safe,"
said Irana Wasti, VP of Product,
Productivity Applications, GoDaddy. "However, the reality for most
small business owners is the day-to-day running of their business
keeps them more than occupied. GoDaddy's new Email Encryption and
Email Archiving features will give our customers extra peace of
mind that both their business and customer data is secure, leaving
them free to focus on growing their venture."
GoDaddy Email Encryption:
GoDaddy has partnered with Proofpoint, a leading next-generation
cyber security company, to provide GoDaddy Email Encryption,
allowing users to send confidential information - such as medical
records and legal documents - through email securely by protecting
the data as it is "in transit." This ensures only the intended
recipient will see the contents of an email, allowing businesses
operating in regulated industries to remain compliant and avoid
penalties.
"Running a dental practice I need to be HIPAA compliant, GoDaddy
email encryption has provided me an affordable and easy to use
solution to send patient information through email," said
Rayna Hwynn, Buffalo Square
Dental.
Key features and benefits include:
- Protect sensitive data and maintain customer trust:
Encryption ensures confidential customer data doesn't get into the
wrong hands, safeguarding business reputation and customer
trust.
- Easy to use: Internal users can compose, read and
respond to all encrypted emails through their inbox. External users
get a link to a web portal where they can read and respond to the
email via a clean, easily navigated interface.
- Simple to administer: GoDaddy's team handles the setup
process for users, meaning the service is ready as soon as the
mailbox is setup. Organizations can then create filters that
automatically identify outbound emails that should be
encrypted.
GoDaddy Email Archiving:
Provided through a partnership with Sonian, a public cloud
information archiving company, GoDaddy Email Archiving ensures
email data and attachments are securely stored in a compliant,
highly secure cloud archive. Email Archiving protects critical
business information held in emails such as employee records and
financials, while maintaining easy access for those who need it.
This simplifies processes where historical information is often
required, such as HR inquiries and employee
onboarding/turnover.
"As an investment advisory firm we are required to have full
email archiving for compliance. GoDaddy's solution was affordable
and very easy to use," said Joshua
Kohn, President/Chief Compliance Officer, Silkworth Capital
Partners LLC.
Key features and benefits include:
- Recover emails and attachments: Recover critical email
data and attachments, even if they've been inadvertently deleted by
employees. Support is provided for over 500 attachment types.
- Stay compliant with industry regulations: Archived
content is stored in state-of-the-art, geo-dispersed data centers
that meet rigorous compliance and security standards.
- Easily preserve and access email for active and former
employees: Secure, tamper-proof storage and continuous access
to inactive or deleted mailboxes, so data remains searchable and
downloadable even after employees leave.
Email Encryption and Email Archiving services can be added a la
carte to a GoDaddy Office 365 account or as part of GoDaddy's new
Premium Security Bundle, which includes Microsoft Office 365
Business Premium, Encryption and Archiving together in one,
competitively priced package.
